Skein 9/15! There was another set of this colourway up for sale recently and I wish I'd bought it now because I think I want this even bigger to see if I can use it to layer on top of jumpers as an alternative to buying a new winter coat.
Hopefully when it's blocked it'll be bigger than I think it is, I am always surprised by how much knitting can grow.

My oldest son and his girlfriend had a civil marriage in Thailand this week. In July, they move to Nanjing, to start his new job, after graduating with his IB in TESOL. She’s Thai and has never lived where it’s cold before, so I’ve started the first of several pairs of wool socks for her. #knittingprojects #knittersofmastadon #socksonsaturday #Nanjing #Seattle #Thailand #knittingprofessors

This is my therapy. Knitting is so relaxing.

I just installed the #KnitCompanion App, having great expectations - #knittersofmastadon , have you tried it? What do you think or recommend?

The Fine Sweater is finally complete! Great pattern by Yu Jie, based on the comic by KC Green. This is definitely the most complicated thing I’ve ever knitted, and I think it took me as long to embroider it and weave in the ends as it did to knit it, but I’m glad I did it. Not recommended for anyone who is a perfectionist, though.

St Brigid update - The Sleevening...

Finally, this afternoon, I finished the third sleeve. I'm not a mutant (well I am, but that's another tale) I managed to mess up the initial increases in the first sleeve and it was too noticeable to let go, so in the end I ended up making three...

Still a way to go though, I need to knit the torc collar, decide if I want to do the same for cuffs and even hem

Question for #knitting peeps. As a complete newcomer to knitting what size needles should I start with? I'm hoping to go to a craft store on Tuesday. I am so antsy to get started! #knitters #knittersofmastadon #knit #knitter #knittalk

Sock in progress.
Little progress, but still progress.

Finally finally finally finished these socks! My first pair and somehow the second sock managed to turn out worse than the first one 😂 I started these in November and although I of course worked on many other projects in the meantime, it took me ages! Remind me to never use 4ply again 😅

#fiberary weekend #texture I have put these in one frame as I would be thrown out for posting so many photos!

Brown one for dad Denali by Norah Gaughan : Gold cardigan : Geiger by Norah Gaughan : Vika (For Kids) by Veronik Avery different sized range pattern now. Denali and Vika with woollen spun Geiger worsted #knitting #knittersofmastadon

I wasn’t anticipating I’d post as much as I have done for #fiberuary but it’s been really inspiring to see everyone else’s makes and it’s pushed me to share mine too (I will run out next week!). My first ‘texture’ post is this cable cardigan that is from Marie Wallinn’s Gentle pattern book, knitted mainly in the garden through lockdowns. I do wear it a lot but the moths love it too, so I’ve already had to mend it! #knitting @knitting #knittersofmastadon

Week 2 of #fiberuary #texture a #knitting technique close to my heart. It’s with sad memories today but I am thankful I had a mum who taught me. A family tradition which I keep going is knitting an aran sweater most years for my dad. Today I am sharing the sweater I knit him for Christmas from a very old leaflet. I was very young when I asked to knit an aran. I have been knitting simple things this week but today I will start to swatch for a texture sweater for myself #knittersofmastadon

Alweer wat jaren terug entrelanc breien uitgeprobeerd en van de proflappen een vest gebreid. Was leuk en is kleurrijk geworden.

It’s the last day of #fiberuary colour week - my final colour selection is a baby jumper I made for a friend who was working on a film about Creation Records, so I thought it was only appropriate to recreate Primal Scream’s Screamadelica album cover for her little girl! My absolute favourite bit of colour work.

It’s day 6 of #fiberuary colour week, so I thought I’d share a couple more #shetland wool jumpers (though they’re a bit crumpled, admittedly!). At the front is a short-sleeved jumper from Susan Crawford’s A Stitch in Time vintage knitting book, which got me knitting again after a few years off; at the back is Marie Wallinn’s Bressay pattern from her Shetland book.

Gender blankie, week 5

I am knitting one row per day based on the gender I most vibe with and I'm really enjoying how this is growing. Depression has been kicking my butt this week so having a project to update daily has been super helpful 🧡

It’s day 5 of #fiberuary colour week, so I’m sharing a baby jumper I knitted a few years ago - the foxes were part of a free Loveknitting glove pattern but I thought they’d look good on a baby jumper instead

Day 4 of #fiberuary colour week so here’s a cardigan I made about 10 years ago. The pattern was released by Fred Perry, as part of Wool Week, but it was withdrawn quickly as it hadn’t been put together by anyone who knew anything about writing knitting patterns - I had to guess the needle size (and I guessed too big, as you can see!) so it ended up in the charity shop, sadly.
